Payload and Working Capacity

The seller currently operates the vessel with approximately:

• 3,800 pounds of product with liners
• Two totes carried on deck
• The two forward holds left unused

The vessel is believed to have a potential working capacity of approximately 4,800 pounds or more, with additional capacity available by removing liners and utilizing the forward holds.

MUTINY BAY is not currently being operated at its full carrying potential, providing meaningful additional capacity for the next owner.

Commercial Hydraulic System

MUTINY BAY is equipped with a complete PTO-driven, load-sensing hydraulic system.

• Vickers hydraulic pump, approximately 13 GPM
• Reversible 2-inch pump
• Reversible 1½-inch pump
• Reversible 1¼-inch pump
• Hydraulic pot-handling system
• Air system
• Commercial washdown system
• Honda 2-inch auxiliary pump
• Engine oil-change pump system

The hydraulic package is laid out for efficient commercial operation and supports a wide range of fishing and deck-handling applications.

Navigation and Electronics

• Garmin GPSMAP multifunction display
• Garmin radar
• Depth sounder and fish finder
• Advanced autopilot system
• AIS
• Icom VHF radio
• Three Vision X flood and spotlights

Maneuverability

• 8-inch bow thruster
• Deflector rudder
• Excellent low-speed handling
• Strong control while working under load
• Practical maneuverability in harbors, alongside docks, and around fishing gear

The bow thruster is a major advantage on a commercial vessel of this size, particularly when operating with a limited crew.

Interior and Accommodations

• Carbon-fiber-finished interior
• Sink
• Refrigerator
• Marine toilet
• Diesel cabin heater
• Radiator heating system

The interior provides a clean, functional space for extended commercial fishing operations.

Trailerability

One of MUTINY BAY's most valuable features is its ability to be transported by trailer.

An optional trailer is available at additional cost.

Trailerability allows an operator to:

• Relocate between Oregon, Washington, and Alaska fisheries
• Reduce long-term moorage expenses
• Simplify haul-outs, repairs, and maintenance
• Transport the vessel closer to different fishing grounds
• Relocate or market the vessel without being tied to one port
• Reach a broader pool of commercial buyers

Trailerable commercial crab vessels of this size and capability are uncommon, making this a significant operational advantage.

Optional Oregon Permit and Gear

Available separately:

• Oregon commercial permit: $55,000
• Approximately 200 pots
• 198 Ladner 41" x 13" pots: $60,000

Optional Alaska Permit and Gear

Available separately:

• Alaska commercial permit: $52,000
• Approximately 225 pots

Commercial Value

The F/V MUTINY BAY offers a rare combination of modern aluminum construction, proven Cummins diesel power, full commercial hydraulics, substantial working capacity, strong low-speed maneuverability, and trailerable versatility.

For an operator looking to move between fisheries, expand an existing operation, or acquire a modern turn-key crab vessel without stepping into a much larger platform, MUTINY BAY deserves serious consideration.

Permits, pots, and trailer are available separately. Contact the listing broker for complete details, survey information, equipment specifications, and current availability.
